The Legislature and the Constitution.

The Chestertown Transcript, in discussing the
defeat of the call for constitutional convention,
and the probability that the Legislature will this
winter provide for submitting several amendments
to the State constitution for adoption or rejection
at the election next fall, says:
"Undoubtedly the constitution of the State can
be changed in many particulars for the better, and
the coming Legislature has before it an opportu-
nifty for distinguishing itself by making number
of wise constitutional amendments. There are in
both branches of the Legislature members well
qualified to discuss such amendments and to bring
out clearly the reasons for and against any aItera
tions that may be proposed in the organic law.
The Democrats have majority in each branch
large enough to pass any amendments that the
party may unanimously agree upon. Doubtless
there will be number of bills introduced provi-
ding for constitutional changes, and, for that rea
son, the coming Legislature will be the most i'm
portant that has convened for number of years."

which has been in progress for the past three
weeks, is nearing completion. The roofis finished
and about one-half of the steeple is completed

IL ,OOO and the steepe will take about 5000. The
whole cost will amount to nearly 81 200. The

Wants Them Fined for Not Voting.
Philadelphia Times.

Harris j. Chiffon, once resident of this city,
but now a citizen of Baltimore, has prepared an
act to be submitted to the next Maryland Legisla-
ture, proposing to make it obligatory on every
qualified citizen to vote at every general election,
with o fine of S. and costs in case of failure. Leg
slative ingenuity has been severely taxed thus far
in trying to prevent bad citizens from voting more
than once or from voting when not qualified cleo
tors, and it would about equally tax the ingenuity
of legislators to mature a law that would make
every honest elector vote at every election.

In the Fall.

In the FALL
The landscape Is pensive and wistful
And purple and hazy by turns,
And the maiden signs over fstful
OF golden rods, asters and ferns.
The shoemaker's now waxing soulful,
The poet turns handsprings of grief,
And the bin in the cellar is coalful,
And the lard of the piglet's in leaf.
The light on the far hills is touchful,
The corn bread is yellow and ripe,
And the gun for the rabbits too muchful,
And the quail plays his Henry Clay pipe.
Now the darkness is Ger the land creeping,
And the pot pie envelopes the bird,
While the flames up the chimney are leaping,
And the bark of the brass dog is heard.

The Constable Lost his Case. William H.
Reed, constable in the Sd district, drove his
horse into trench which had been opened by the
city to lay o water main. The horse died from
the injuries and Mr.. Reed sued the city for dam
ages, the magistrate giving judgment for the
plaintiff for 500. The city took an appeal and
the case was tried before Judge Stewart on Mon
day last. The Judge decided that Reed had been
negligent, and that even If he had not, the city
was not liable under the circumstances, the acci-
dent having occurred beyond the limits. Judg-
ment was therefore given in favor Of the city, with
costs. afs

Fork, 18th District.-I received letter from
a friend in Oregon, written on Thanksgiving day,
which said the trees at that time were laden with
pears and apples, and tons upon tons of grapes
were hanging on the vines. While there was a
scarcity of fruit throughout this portion of the
United States, it the states bordering the
Pacific coast had an abundance.
Christmas is drawing near, and numerous en-
tertainments are on the tapis, the most prominent
being the one to be held in the M. E. Church at
Unionville, on Friday December 23d, at n p. M
The programme will consist of addresses, dia-
logues and music by the scholars also addresses
by wel-known speakers. They will have a tree,
and grand treat for all present. A small ad-
mission fee will be charged at the door. Proceeds
to purchase library Mr.. Peter Formwalt, the
superintendent, is indefatigable in his labors and
deserves great credit for making the Sabbath
school success.
Fork Constitutional Amendment Association
met last Wednesday. The president, John E.
Allender, was present, and made few remarks.
In future no announcements will be made in ad-
vance.
Rev. Geo. W. Feelemyer made visit to this
neighborhood last week and rendered efficient aid
to Rev. o. G. Marriott at the protracted meeting
in progress at Union Chapel.
The intense cold on Wednesday night of last
week caused the farmers to look after their fruit
and Potatoes stored in out houses. One of our
neighbors had his potatoes frozen by negIecting
to romove them from his barn to the root cellar.
The voice of the porker is heard in our land,
When sausage and spare ribs will be fresh hand
With lard sweet and good, our crullers we'll fry,
As well as help make up the Xmas mince pie.
Our cupboards with good things already stored,
And now I'll stop rhyming or you will be bored.
